Any ideas what to do with this

Oh my gosh, I totally get this dilemma! Just last week, I finished a pack of my favorite Wrigley's Extra Sweet Watermelon gum – you know, the one with the handy clear plastic container? And there I was, holding this perfectly good little box, thinking, 'Surely, there's something better to do with this than just toss it!' It feels like such a waste to just throw away these sturdy empty gum containers, especially when they're so compact and useful. After a quick brainstorm and a bit of searching, I realized these Extra gum plastic containers are true hidden gems for organizing and crafting! Who knew such a simple item could have so many second lives? If you're like me and looking for what to do with an empty gum container, you've come to the right place. I've gathered some of my absolute favorite gum container ideas that are super easy and genuinely helpful. First up, mini organizers! These clear plastic containers are a lifesaver for all those tiny bits and bobs that usually get lost in drawers or bags. I've started using one to keep my bobby pins and hair ties separated – no more digging around! They're also perfect for paperclips, pushpins, or even small craft supplies like beads and sequins. Because they're clear, you can easily see what's inside, which is a huge plus. Some people even use them for a small emergency pill container for daily meds when traveling – just be sure to label it clearly! Next, for those always on the go, these extra gum containers make fantastic travel companions. I repurposed one into a mini first-aid kit for my purse with a few band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and pain relievers. It's so much handier than a bulky pouch! Another genius idea I saw was for a mini sewing kit, perfect for quick fixes on unexpected snags. Think about storing a few cotton swabs, floss picks, or even a couple of emergency buttons. And for snacks? They're ideal for a small handful of M&Ms or Tic Tacs, keeping them fresh and preventing crushes. Feeling crafty? These little boxes are a blank canvas! You can decorate them with washi tape, stickers, or even paint them to match your aesthetic. I saw someone turn an empty Extra gum container into a tiny terrarium for a succulent cutting – it was adorable! They also make cute little gift card holders or a stylish way to present a small piece of jewelry. The possibilities for things to do with your Extra gum container are pretty endless once you start thinking outside the box (pun intended!). Before you repurpose, make sure to give your clear plastic container a good wash and dry. A little soap and water does the trick! And don't be afraid to personalize it. The best part about these DIY projects is making them truly your own. I'm always on the hunt for new gum container ideas, so if you've got a brilliant hack for these extra gum plastic containers, please spill the beans in the comments! Let's inspire each other to be more resourceful and turn these everyday items into something wonderful. Happy repurposing!
